Who is your fav European player
And your fav American player and why????????
And they have to be still playing.
For me it's Harrington , I know he is out of sorts at the minute, but by god he has some determination never gives up no matter what.
He is smart , well able to express himself and honest.

My fav American is hands down Jim furyk, another pure grinder who can never be counted out. A pure gentleman in every sence of the word.
Has his own swing, doesn't get tied up with all the mumbo jumbo thinkering with it, just goes out and plays, his record speaks for it's self.

That's mine, what's yours??

I'm another Harrington fan, so he gets my Euro vote. He became my favourite initially becuase he played with Wilson clubs like I did at the time (pretty shallow, I know), and from there I've grown to apprciate the way he approaches the game, his sheer determination, as well as his general demeanor around the course - he strikes me as being a decent bloke off the course too. Jiminez is a close second, just because he appears so laid back and cool.

As for the American, John Daly was my favourite but given this is for current players I'm not sure if he's eligible (I can't recall if he's still in his latest comeback phase or if he's packed it in again). I'd love to see him win another tournament because he's such a character with genuine personality.

If not Daly, then I'd pick Anthony Kim.

Charles Howell III will probably be my favorite golfer until he retires. I've stood by him this long, and I'll continue to cheer him on in the future. I cheer for the other Oklahoma State guys (Mahan, Fowler, Verplank, etc.) as well.

As far as European golfers, I'd have to say Sergio Garcia. I know a lot of people don't care for the guy, but I've always been a fan. And when he is on with his irons (been awhile), there isn't anyone more entertaining to watch. I've always liked Luke Donald too.

American: Tiger, but I also like guys like Furyk, Sean O'Hair, Stricker.
European: I'm going to have to agree with Thrash13 and say Sergio. He's fun to watch.
International: I've always had a strange affinity for Vijay.

    • Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
